The Patek Philippe Complications 4946R-001 is a beautifully refined 38mm rose gold annual calendar timepiece, introduced in 2025 with a distinctive and elegant new aesthetic. The standout feature is its chestnut brown dial, adorned with both vertical and horizontal satin brushing to create a unique “shantung” silk-like texture, offering depth and visual intrigue rarely seen in classic dress watches. The dial is complemented by applied rose gold Arabic numerals and dauphine hands, striking the perfect balance between readability and refined design.
Functionally, the watch features a full annual calendar with day, date, and month displays, as well as a beautifully rendered moon phase complication at 6 o’clock—each aperture and subdial integrated seamlessly into the dial’s layout. The self-winding Caliber 324 S QA LU powers the watch, requiring adjustment only once per year in February. Paired with a matching chestnut brown calfskin strap, the 4946R-001 is an elegant and versatile addition to Patek Philippe’s Complications collection, offering high-end functionality wrapped in timeless, textural beauty.
